The number of feet in the length of the handrail is 17.3 ft.
The easiest way to see this is to imagine that we can "unfold" the spiral to create a rectangle
The bottom side of the rectangle is just the arc length of a circle with a radius of 3 ft turned through 270°= (3/4) of a whole revolution
(3/4) (2pi) (3) = (9/2)pi ft = 4.5 pi ft
The side of the rectangle will be the rise of the staircase = 10ft
And the diagonal of the rectangle will be the length of the handrail
We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this
Handrail length = √ [ (4.5 pi)^2 + 10^2 ] ≈ 17.3 ft
Pythagorean theorem is the well-known geometric theorem that the sum of the squares on the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square on the hypotenuse.

Answer:
7 over 10 and 7,10
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Any line with the same slope. In this case the slope is 1. For example, y=x+4 is parallel to y=x+7.
Answer:
30 years
Step-by-step explanation:
2 is a factor of 30, so the LCM of 2 and 30 is 30.
Saturn and Mars will appear in the same direction in the night sky every 30 years.
I'm not sure about this but will give it a try:
Let f(n) = 2xⁿ - 2
Then f(3) = 2x³ - 2
So, f(2) = 2x² - 2
